This place was a great find! We were headed to South Bend and needed some lunch, so we stopped in this cute little town. The menu was big and the service was great. Food was delish. We all loved it. My daughter is GF. So that was a bit tricky for her sadly. The rest of us enjoyed every bite! Great place to stop. I highly recommend! read more

Great food and service along with reasonable prices! A bonus was their homemade desserts!

Been here alot over the years. Service is generally pretty good, and food is very good. We try to hit it on the festivities but often miss the dates. read more

Great Austrian food, the schnitzel is ample, plenty of choices. I had the Tuscan while my wife had the Brie. Both were excellent, not too greasy like some places. And the Thursday special of a dollar off a beer and a free large pretzel is perfect. Service was excellent and she recommended the chicken schnitzel with the Brie which was the right choice. Fun place in a nice town. Comfortable seating and plenty of room. read more

If you want excellent pie or cake, I recommend. Although, if you want authentic Austrian food I've had better. There was no seasoning on any of the food besides those canned potatoes on my husband's sausage platter(which those had no color like boiled.) My sauce was broken on my schnitzel it was some bitter tasting pink sauce. Only good thing was the mushrooms and onion in the sauce. Also my server was a child. Expected better attention to the customer service but the town is small so you get what you get. We were just passing through on our way from Michigan City and saw this place. Not impressed. The pretzel was okay though, probably would have saved our money and just had that with a beer, even though I think they're microwaved. read more

Came for lunch with my sister. I ordered the fried pork, it came with spaezle and red cabbage. Very bland and dry. Don't think I would make the 25 mile trip again to eat here. And beware of the speed trap on main drag near the elementary school..welcome to New Carlisle! read more

We love it here! The food is traditional, the vibe is amazing, and the service is good

Definitely the Gem of New Carlisle. Great atmosphere in a beautiful historical building connected to the sweet shop. Servers are very nice. It's family friendly with a good size menu. It was possibly the best French dip I've ever had. The fries, both regular and sweet are divine, fresh, and more than likely hand cut. My husband loved is tenderloin sandwich, and my mil loved her stuffed sole with spaetzel. We will be back! Bonus points for bringing the kids food out first! read more

We took my son out for his birthday, and he suggested this place. It was in an old building that was nicely restored. The atmosphere in this place is warm and inviting. Our server came right over and took our drink order. When he returned with the drinks, we ordered dinner. I ordered the Alt Wienerschnitzel, my son ordered the Jaegerschnitzel Schnitzel, and my wife ordered the Sausage Platter. Our food took a bit to come out, but when it did it was totally worth the wait. Each of us liked our meal and thought it was good. This was a nice place to go to celebrate a special occasion. The price was reasonable for what you receive and I would definitely come back in the future. read more

Food was great, felt like it was authentic (never ate Austrian food before) the ambience is great and the sever was excellent..

Very disappointed with my meal. Warm German potato salad was not what I would normally expect. No flavor to the food. Nice atmosphere, good service. Veni's next door, on the other hand, is fabulous! read more

I first visited Moser's about 12 years ago. At that time they were in a smaller location a few doors down. Sad to hear that the original owners sold this past year. Part of the charm was the previous owner and his family. Werner was from Austria and would make a point of welcoming all guests. That said, they have the same chef and menu. We started with the meat and cheese board with the olive spread -same great food! Then we had the bacon dumpling soup before our favorite - the schnitzel. Happy to share that it was just as delicious as ever. Good service, great food. read more

Mediocre food at best and absolute AWFUL service. No excuse to wait over an hour for lunch and then be missing half the entree. Very poor customer service and management. We won't be back. read more

We had dinner there with my husband's parents. The food was great. I had the Cordon Blue schnitzel. It was huge and the left overs made for a great lunch. They have a nice assortment of beer. My family enjoyed their beer. Love seeing the wait staff wearing traditional Austrian garb as well. Will definitely go back again read more

Moser's Austrian Cafe - Bar area inside - German Near Me - New Carlisle, Indiana

What a cute restaurant in downtown New Carlisle, not far from downtown South Bend! A group of us ate lunch here on a weekday and had almost the whole restaurant to ourselves. We shared the giant soft pretzels appetizer, served with grainy mustard and a memorable olive spread/dip. When at an Austrian restaurant, you opt for the traditional food. I ordered Bratwurst with potatoes and sauerkraut, although there are plenty of other options, including more traditional lunch offerings like sandwiches and salads. There's a small coffee shop and bakery adjoining the restaurant, and an event space upstairs for private parties. Downtown New Carlisle is quaint, and Moser's is a great spot to check out if you're in the area. read more

An excellent establishment, where all are welcomed. The food is prepared to order and the staff ready to serve.

This establishment was a little further down the street 17 years ago when I rented a house in New Carlisle. I loved the food then. It's relocated but the food and service are still excellent. You won't find better German food at reasonable prices like this. And now they have a coffee shop attached to the side read more

Today we were there for the Lent Fish Specials and Large Beers. We were not disappointed. GreaT taste and texture, refills were hot, fresh and delivered promptly. The 1 Liter Stigel beer were excellent. We will be back for some traditional Austrian Food. read more

Our first visit last week was incredible. We were traveling from Los Angeles to South Bend for an ND football weekend. This place may be under your radar and is a must eatery if you like Austrian / German style food and beverages. At mid-afternoon on a Thursday, the place was busy We enjoyed their generous and flavorful Wienerschnitzel dinner. Our waiter, Sam, treated us like family. Can't wait to go back to this hidden Gem. read more

This place deserves to be a lot busier than they are. Starts with good choices of German Beers. Served in various sizes just like German's would appreciate. Moving on to the main menu - excellent choices in schnitzels and other Austrian cuisine. Prices are reasonable and serving sizes are generous. Food prep for our table of four was perfect as ordered. Pleasant old world feel with modern conveniences. The sweet shop attached is a great way to end the experience. Absolutely will return. The server was polite, helpful and welcoming. Added plus - they offer true liver dumpling soup and spinach salad with hot bacon dressings. Always on menu!! read more

Lunch in the booming metropolis! Thank goodness it's not. Charming restaurant, great service. We went with Wienerschnitzel. It was wonderful. Make sure you try the potato pancakes! We will definitely be going back. read more

The atmosphere is great. The place is tastefully decorated. It's warm and inviting. The menu offers a nice selection of drinks, sandwiches, and schnitzels. The veal was a little tough, the pork was nice and tender. I'd recommend that. We tried the Tuscany schnitzel and the Kaiserschnitzel. Both were great. The Kaiser was a little too salty for my taste. Beware cardiac patients. We finished off with the German Chocolate cake. It was dry. I've grown accustomed to a German Chocolate Cheese cake so this was not my favorite. We also had the bacon dumpling soup. It was nicely seasoned with cloves and I'm guessing nutmeg, maybe cinnamon. It was the first time I've ever had it. I was not a fan of the dumpling but I think it was more a matter of personal taste. They do make there own noodles-spec? Maybe? I don't recall what she called it. But it's impressive. read more

Good food small portions very authentic so if you're looking for Austrian food, don't think it's going to be American Austrian. It's pretty clear cut authentic and a little chocolate shop next-door is awesome. as far as ambience a little too high scale for the location. I think they would do better if they tone it down a little bit with the high polish and served hardy bowls with a little less posh - I'd be happier walking into my grandmothers house, style restaurant, and more likely to stay. Staff is quick and efficient. read more

What a great lunch experience! Firstly, the historic building itself is incredible! Excellent restoration... the replica tin ceiling is to die for.. for those of us that love old buildings! While you're admiring the ceiling and quaint Austrian decor, please notice the stein collection. It's very impressive! Some of the steins are larger than I've ever seen before. Ohh... the food! I was there for lunch with a couple of friends that had been there before... I went with the veggie on rye. Wow... the roasted vegetables with balsamic dressing was delicious! I ordered the potato salad (German style served warm) and it was very good! I recommend stopping in and trying everything on the menu. Why not?? It's authentic Austrian food with some American choices thrown in the mix. They also have a nice outdoor patio if you prefer alfresco dining. During my visit, everyone wore masks and encouraged hand sanitizer due to COVID-19. Better safe than sorry! read more

Love Moser's! We always stop by Moser's when we visit New Carlisle. The owner is so sweet. He will come over and tell you all about the food. We go there for the Bavarian Meat and Cheese platter & Hot Wurst platter. They serve it with stone ground mustard and olive cream cheese spread. It is so delicious with one of their Austrian beers. They have a super yummy pork schnitzel sandwich. The red cabbage and rueben are very good as well. read more

Been here twice. One server on staff, and was friendly and did the best she could as the place filled to eight tables. A bit too many for one server and no one else on staff jumped in to help. They did have a food server. I don't know much about this type of food, but found it Fresh and Delicious. Surprisingly with all the bric a brac around, the restaurant was Very Clean., however the menus were dirty and some wrappers were left on table doily, from other customers. The attached candy/desert store looked delicious, again Very Clean, just felt sorry for the one server and didn't want to trouble her, as she still had a lot of running to do. I will return, but I think you have to be in the mood for this unique type of offering. read more

Great place to eat comfort food Bavarian style. Would like to visit sometime in morning to try out coffee and pastries

Revisited Mosers today for lunch. It was very good. They specialize in Austrian/german food and do a great job at it. The menu is heavy on the schnitzel but thats ok- schmitzel is good. I had jaegerschnitzel, with carmelized onion and mushroom, sweet and sour red xabbage and spaetzle ( dumplins/ noodles) and their house beer. My son had a schnitzel sandwich with potato pancakes. Everythig was great, nicely prepared and presented. Mosers doesnt try to be trendy or haute cuisine-- its rustic homemade german/austrian fare. The house beer is a plsner in a narrow schnell-- id recommend it with almost anything they serve. Mosers is a little pricey,but I didnt feel ripped off. Everything was real, and house prepared-- not out of a bag or box so its worth a little extra money. service was a tad slow... i did a quick count and there were 36 diners in the room... with 2 servers a bartender and a food runner... they were a little understaffed. Our server was really nice, and did her best to keep up. read more

We tried this place on a recommendation from a friend. It has a cute atmosphere with lots of pictures and memorabilia from Europe. We so wanted to enjoy the food. Unfortunately, it wasn't good at all. Greasy and flavorless. They were also out of many dishes. Service was spotty with only two servers available. Not worth the 45 minute drive - won't be going back. read more

Great potato pancakes, enjoyable atmosphere, pleasant staff. .

Great atmosphere but the service couldn't get much worse. Got here at 6:30 and it's currently 8:36. Still no food. They are understaffed and these kids are trying but I think it's the kitchen that is literally getting food out sooooooo slow! We only have one plate each. How hard is that? Back of house needs a lesson in running a kitchen. Having a unique and authentic menu is great but when the service is like this it ruins the whole dining experience. Unacceptable. If you come, then plan to take several hours to eat. I don't know how they make it? I certainly won't come back. It's now 8:47 and still no food. Got our food at 9 pm. A little disappointed to say the least with my entree. I got the "sausage platter". I don't know what say..... won't be back. This dish was over $16. read more

Moser's Austrian Cafe - German Near Me - New Carlisle, Indiana

A truly unique experience not only for this area but for the entire Midwest. Chef prepared Austrian/German cuisine that is expertly prepared and presented and tastes fabulous. Schnitzel is their specialty and they have a dozen topping combinations to choose from or you can create your own style. They have a full bar and some amazing draft choices from locals to European beers. Their flagship is Steigl from Austria's Oldest Brewery....it's also my favorite! The beer menu shifts according to seasons and local availability. The staff are courteous and Werner Moser, the owner, is a great host. Expect a little longer wait as everything is chef prepared. But that just adds more time to sample the beers! I highly recommend them anytime of the week. There is also live acoustic entertainment most weekends. read more
